    coast2coast replied to radioradio's topic in General Students

  2. It seems probie's can't take a joke or laugh

    coast2coast replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

  3. Classmate making me feel uncomfortable.

    coast2coast replied to agua's topic in General Students

    uh ... YES IT IS! yikes. His "understanding" of this behaviour does not determine whether or not it is sexual harassment. The behaviour and the content of his language does. For your own safety -...

  4. Tell me the truth...

    coast2coast replied to Adams_Mama_07's topic in General Students

    I think you will be okay. There is always an opportunity to say somewhere on a future application that you withdrew to support your family. Nobody is going to question that! Especially if you left...

  5. Ethical Dilemma re: Tests

    coast2coast replied to ziggysgal,RN's topic in General Students

    This! New instructors can be shockingly naive about cheating. Since you don't have proof ... I would contact your instructor and tell them what you heard without naming names. Say simply that you...

    coast2coast replied to angiebear's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  7. Mr Thrifty Skeleton........Your opinion????

    coast2coast replied to ruddergrl's topic in General Nursing

    honestly, you'll look at it in 3 months and it will feel like a huge waste of money. i took pictures on my phone of all the real bones we had in lab (and there were a lot!) it let me study on the go,...

  8. Help!! Question about accelerated program

    coast2coast replied to reina*'s topic in General Students

    You have to start 'em all. It's painful - I took 2 classes I ended up not needing for my accelerated program. Money down the drain but hey I got in

  9. Really?? A Farmer's Market in the hospital?

    coast2coast replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    This would be my concern as well. Sick patients who touch/cough/etc all over my tomatoes. It just seems unnecessary to expose food (much of which will be eaten raw) to a high concentration of...

  10. L&D-Maternity 1950's Style

    coast2coast replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in General Nursing

    My grandmother gave birth to her first child in 1950. She went into labor in mid-afternoon, by the time it had progressed the Dr. had gone home for the day. The nurse thought it was inappropriate to...

  11. Varicella Titer Results High

    coast2coast replied to INDY_123's topic in General Students

    Mine came back with a similar number. In fact, all of my titers came back HIGH. I ordered/paid for them through an online company and i'm more than a little suspicious of my results. i know for a fact...

  13. Free Kaplan Nursing ebooks (Apple ipad/iphone/itouch only)

    coast2coast replied to ky_grl82's topic in General Nursing

    Has anyone gotten this to work with an iphone upgraded to iOS4? Everytime I open the kaplan site my appstore goes crazy. Just wondering

  14. Loans and no options

    coast2coast replied to megan3485's topic in General Students

    If you are limiting your school selection based on the idea that living in a dorm is the cheapest option - don't. Dorms are almost always WAY more expensive than just renting a place near campus....

  15. Current Undergraduate Student Wishing to Pursue a BSN but Does Not Have an RN Degree

    coast2coast replied to Val A.'s topic in General Nursing

    There is another CUNY school of nursing ... Lehmann I believe? It's been awhile since I looked into it, so not 100% sure about spelling. But very sure it didn't require the

  16. Fiber and how it effects the GI Tract

    coast2coast replied to bd4411sa's topic in General Nursing

  17. looking back, are there courses that you thought were not necessary?

    coast2coast replied to nowIamRN's topic in General Nursing

    Lifespan/developmental psych. What total garbage! I had to take it as a prereq- it had no business on a list that otherwise included A&P, micro, and

  18. LTC - when residents deteriorate

    coast2coast replied to Meraki's topic in General Nursing

    From experience with my own family members and working in LTC, this is the key to getting what you want. Your grandmother's caregivers are wonderful people who have WAY too much to do on a daily...

  19. Online Blood Test (Varicella Titer)

    coast2coast replied to theconfusedone's topic in General Students

    I recently used econolabs.com for all my titers. No prescription required and got results in a few days. Don't know about varicella specifically but varicella+ MMR+hep B was $197. I did a lot of...

  20. Help! How to I become more assertive?

    coast2coast replied to picurn10's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This is a tough one. I find that how I present myself (speech and mannerism), has a big impact on how assertive I feel and on how other people react to me. How's your posture? Stand up straight,...

  21. 2nd degree in nursing WAS IT WORTH IT? GIRL LOST!

    coast2coast replied to Sophiamez's topic in Nursing Career

    Honestly, teaching is not an easier or more profitable alternative to nursing. If you want to teach "college" (community college or 4-year university), you probably need a PhD. You might get hired at...

  22. How can you afford BSN program and housing?

    coast2coast replied to girtenbt's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    FAFSA may be more flexible than you think. Have you gone through your school's "estimated cost of attendance" with a fine tooth comb? Mine majorly underestimated cost of living, rent, and fees. I...

  23. ANP vs. FNP - who gets hired?

    coast2coast replied to coast2coast's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Unfortunately there is no ACNP option at my school (this was actually my first choice). I'd like to eventually work in L.A., and they seem to hire FNP's to pretty much every setting here. I think I...

    coast2coast replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in General Students

    Probably cheaper from a student. And I like the feeling of not killing more trees than

  25. Books...bookstore, or from a student?

    coast2coast replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in General Students

    Pretty much any source is likely to be cheaper than the bookstore - even if they call it a "discount" bundle. Take 15 minutes to look up your list on amazon or barnes & noble ( by ISBN to make...
